Math Requirements

I am completely new to programming and such (and to this forums), but I have a strong interest in learning. Someday I hope I can make my own games.

However, as a communications student, I don't really get to see a lot of math (much less programming), so I was wondering, what would I have to learn on math subjects so I can program a game? I know there is a broad spectrum of games, but what I am trying to do is to program a simple game such as those that are on the app store or maybe even flash games.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

P.S.: I read the thread about starting on game development, and I tried to find out what exactly was linear algebra, and I found out it is something entirely new to me. ><

Anything which you don't know already is on the internet for you to either learn or copy. P.S. for a simple 2D game there isn't anything really complex like quaternions or anything. Good luck anyway though.

Agreement with other posters. Evidence: the only math questions I have ever asked on this forum were related to high school-level trigonometry concepts that hadn't been covered in my public school math classes yet.
